Gauteng - Moshoeshoe 6

Review by Bridget Knight

Gauteng's latest album, Moshoeshoe 6, is an exceptional work of art that showcases the band's unique blend of African rhythms and contemporary sound. The album is a tribute to Moshoeshoe, the legendary king of the Basotho people, who is credited with uniting various clans and establishing the Kingdom of Lesotho.

The album starts with the upbeat and catchy "Makhoarane," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. The song features a catchy melody and infectious rhythm that will have listeners tapping their feet in no time. It's followed by "Moshoeshoe," a poignant tribute to the great king that features soulful vocals and powerful lyrics.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Mamela," a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's harmonies and "Seshoeshoe," a high-energy track that blends traditional African rhythms with modern beats. The album's closing track, "Thaba Bosiu," is a hauntingly beautiful instrumental that pays homage to the mountain fortress where Moshoeshoe established his kingdom.
